Field Invasion Festival Urbach

A Metal Institution in the Westerwald

The Field Invasion Festival is proof that a dedicated crew of passionate scene activists can build one of Germany's most important underground metal festivals within a few years. What started as a regional concert format has evolved into a three-day major event with supra-regional appeal, expecting up to 80,000 visitors.

Müllerhof Meadow as Festival Site

The Müllerhof meadow in Urbach (Selters administrative district) offers an ideal setting for a metal open-air: wide green spaces for the stages and camping, easily accessible via the A3 motorway, nestled in the typical Westerwald landscape. The setting gives the festival an authentic open-air character that clearly distinguishes it from urban festival formats.

Over 80 Bands

The 2026 program features over 80 bands from the entire spectrum of metal – from Heavy and Thrash to Death and Black Metal, as well as modern subgenres. Confirmed acts include Stesy, Noctune, Colors of Autumn, Goldsmith, Backstabbed, Snow White Blood, Gone, King Nugget Gang, Virocracy, Artemis Rising, Unhinged, Evil Excess, Abandoned in Destiny, Unhallowed Deliverance, and Never Back Down, as well as numerous other acts.

Community Feeling

What sets the Field Invasion Festival apart is its strong sense of community. Despite its growth, the festival has maintained a family-like atmosphere. Bands and audience mingle during the festival, the crew remains approachable, and the entire ambiance is characterized by a genuine love for metal culture.

Tickets and Camping

The festival ticket for the entire weekend costs €49 – a price that is exceptionally fair given the diversity of bands offered. For €65, you also get an official festival T-shirt. Camping is included in the ticket and makes the Field Invasion a classic festival weekend experience.
